Tottenham Hotspur have submitted an opening bid worth over £60 million to Liverpool for forward Cody Gakpo, intensifying their pursuit of the Netherlands international, [according to Soccernews](https://www.soccernews.nl/news/liverpool-krijgt-bod-van-60-miljoen-op-gakpo-binnen/).
Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi remains keen to add the 27-year-old attacker, who [‘consistently scores goals’](https://www.empireofthekop.com/2025/10/23/carragher-praise-underrated-gakpo-consistency/), to his squad, viewing Gakpo as essential to his frontline rebuild.
Having already secured high-profile summer signings such as Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Andy Robertson, De Zerbi is eager to strengthen his attack before the window closes.
Negotiations are progressing positively on the player’s side, with reports indicating Tottenham have reached an agreement in principle with Gakpo on personal terms. The Dutch international is open to a move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
After an unsettled campaign under former manager Arne Slot and increased competition from new arrivals under Andoni Iraola at Anfield, Gakpo is reportedly ready for a fresh challenge, one where he can become a focal point in attack.
The Liverpool hierarchy have taken Spurs’ offer under consideration but are expected to hold out for a higher fee as they look to fund their own summer business, with a move for Bradley Barcola currently in progress.
De Zerbi values Gakpo’s ability to operate seamlessly across multiple attacking positions—whether as a left winger, central striker, or secondary forward.
Meanwhile, Spurs are also working on a deal for Manchester City’s Savinho, who is keen to join in search of regular playing time.
With just over two weeks left before the transfer window closes, Tottenham are expected to have a busy end to the window, continuing their summer spree.
